My buddy just picked up his last night. Not sure the model, but it's dark anodized green with last years frame and a mix of Deore, LX and XT. Very sweet looking bike.
He didn't have pedals. He just picked it up from the shop. Stopped by my place on the way home so I could check it out.
I'll let you know.
The one thing that really surprised me was the weight. It was pretty light. I was expecting something in the 35 lb range and I'd be surprised if this weighed over 28.
